I added the /usr/bin/ar bin because its included in the devx but not in the iso, basically it allows the extraction of debs and others, strange it wasn't in the iso as default. probably could be removed for other newer 4 series versions to use this updated pet.
oh well tuuxxx.

I don´t get it ttuuxxx, the ar executable allows extraction from xarchiver or File-roller?. Cause, actually It is not used by the deb2pet.rpm2pet script.

the deb/rpm installer doesn't work, it registers the application so you can uninstall it, but it doesn't actually install. grrrrrrrrr
ttuuxxx

ttuuxxx the deb2pet.rpm2pet installer does not work because it try to use unrpm and undeb applications, that are not present in 214X. Then it just creates a pet package with the pet.specs file inside but nothing more (that pet is registered by petget).

Anyway you can use dpkg-deb (don´t confuse with buggy dpkg) instead of undeb to use small and smart dejan555 script, but there´s not a full extraction alternative for rpm packages.

The alternative code from amigo is GREAT for rpm, it does not need any additional library or application and works really good . But it has two inconvenients (or I must say it is incomplete for the implementation needed in 214X):

1. It extracts the deb/rpm package but not install it, so I must add the additional code from dejan555 that produces a correct installation.

2. For deb packages it does a full extraction adding the unneeded control files from the deb package, so I need to use other alternative like dpkg-deb that works fine.

I´m working now in a new mixed version that is working fine , should finish tonight.

I added some additional options, still need some polish in rpm code and of course the instllation option for rpm.

I know I'm new in linux programming and shell scripting, for this reason the code is functional but ugly and sometimes I just get lost. I usually start from a main function used in C, but script code seems to execute step by step, well I'm learning slowly, yet need to learn Xdiag and GTK...

Hi Guys here's a music player/Manager, you can even edit your song tags with it
Its actually a very nice program, and I managed to make the pet under 1MB wow, lol I had to compile and include just a couple of libs, lol I also left the locals in
libcdio-0.82-i386
libmad-0.15.1b-i386
libmodplug-0.8.7-i386
libnotify-0.4.4-i386
libsndfile-1.0.21-i386
taglib-1.6.1-i386
Plus I had to lower a few version numbers in the .configure script, but the end result was really good So enjoy
ttuuxxx

Ps also included the pragha-0.7.1.1-i386-libs-dev.pet which is just the all the dev files for all the files above So If you wanted to compile using those libraries you could.
